I thought it would be fun to discuss the video games we want to exist, but have not been announced or confirmed. This is meant to mainly be based on video games that already do exist. For example, since New Horizons is basically "Animal Crossing 5", "Animal Crossing 6" will definitely be included in my list.
Animal Crossing 6
Let's start with my most obvious choice. I think all of us have been looking forward to AC6 for a couple of years now. The ACNH 3.0 Update is nice and all, but I am ready for something NEW, something innovative. Something that holds up to the late-2020s. There is a LOT that could be discussed here, so I will just say that I hope we get new features, new fruits, new flowers, a sense of starting from scratch like in NH--but a sense of long-term progression like in NL. I would also love a variety of villager interactions, new personalities, and new species. I will close this off by saying I would stronger villager personalities. I don't necessarily want my villagers to be over-the-top rude to me for no reason (especially after having a high friendship). However, I would love to see dialogue based on how well (or badly) we treat a villager. And even for cranky villagers to start off as slightly rude or cold at first.
Miitopia 2
I feel in love with Miitopia back in the Summer of 2021 when the Switch remake came out. I was hyper-fixated on this game for almost two years straight. I originally gave this game a try because I love video game where you can add yourself and pretty much whoever the heck you want. However, I eventually found more reasons to love this game, and one of them is the unique personalities and their quirks. I don't play many fighting games, but playing Miitopia is very satisfying. I would love the next game to be longer, more in-depth. I want the same personalities and jobs from the original Miitopia and its remake. However, I would also love new personalities and jobs, along with some new skills for already existing jobs and some new quirks for already existing personalities (e.g. 'Kind' miis could restore extra HP/MP for their teammates). I also think job levels should be bumped up from 50 to 100. The 999 damage cap should be removed, but in exchange for harder monsters.
The Sims 5
This is probably the least probable thing on my list, but I would love to finally get The Sims 5 later on down the road. Sims in TS4 were a lot more emotional than in 1-3, but Sims 3 peaked in terms of Sim creation and interior decorating. TS5 should take these two things in put them in the same game, along with adding some new, innovative features. This is similar to what I say about the Animal Crossing franchise. New Leaf peaked in its own ways, while New Horizons peaked in other ways. The same goes for TS3 and TS4. I think developers in general should take note of the best features across multiple games in a franchise they have made, and then use them to make future games (along with adding new features to said games).
Papa's Burgeria Deluxe
If you are familiar with Flipline Studios and the "Papa's games" you are likely to agree with this one. Starting in 2023, Flipline Studios started to bring their games to Steam. First, they did Freezeria Deluxe. Then Pizzeria Deluxe in 2024. Both of them are games from way earlier on. I want all of the other gamerias to get deluxe versions, but Burgeria is now the most outdated game, so I am hoping it is next.
More Story of Seasons Remakes
I really enjoy the Story of Seasons games, and if you are familiar with them, you would know that they are remaking old games that were under the 'Harvest Moon' title. My favorite games under the 'Harvest Moon' title (prior to the split between Natsume and Marvelous) are:
- Magical Melody
- Tree of Tranquility
- Animal Parade
- Island of Happiness
- Sunshine Islands
- A New Beginning
^ So, I am hoping these all get remade eventually.

The latest entry was on mobile but it has been discontinued, and I’d love to see a new entry to make up for that loss.
I adore this game. Great cast of characters with tons of personality, farming that's simple but really fun and satisfying, AMAZING dialogue (some of it is pleasantly adult!) one of the last games to feature alcohol, super funny and wacky friend events, super cute heart events, and so much more. But as much as I adore it, some QoL improvements would be much appreciated here and there. For example, being able to narrow down recipes based on ingredients. It would be really helpful to select one specific ingredient, like tomato, and be given a list of all food dishes that require tomato. That would make cooking a little less tedious.
